Private Sector Health Alliance of Nigeria (PSHAN) has committed to investing N3.87 billion  by 2034 to improve access to family planning and child spacing services across Nigeria.

This was announced at the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Family Planning Conference held at Abuja Continental Hotel, Abuja.

The commitment underscored PSHAN’s dedication to addressing critical gaps in FP services through sustainable private sector engagement and innovative solutions.

Through the flagship Adopt-a-Health Facility Programme (ADHFP), PSHAN will establish 774 world-class primary healthcare centers (PHCs)—one in each Local Government Area (LGA) of Nigeria.

These facilities aim to provide integrated child spacing services to over 30 million women and girls directly by 2030 and an additional 50 million people indirectly. The initiative is expected to reduce maternal mortality by 30 per cent and increase modern contraceptive prevalence rates (mCPR) by 25 per cent, significantly contributing to Nigeria’s healthcare improvement goals.

Managing Director, Private Sector Health Alliance of Nigeria (PSHAN), Dr. Tinuola Akinbolagbe said PSHAN’s commitment addresses critical gaps in family planning services, particularly in underserved and rural areas, by mobilising private sector resources, improving healthcare infrastructure, and ensuring consistent supply chains for family planning commodities.

According to her, the alliance’s focus on community engagement, local manufacturing of FP products, and male involvement highlights its holistic approach to reproductive health.
